Booksto re Poll
Results Given

483 students and faculty of the
3400 polled responde d to the
student -opinion for m pertaining
to the Book Store operations.
This somewhat disappo inting return of slightly over one in ten
may however , be used as an
indicator of over all student opinion , assuming th at those individuals who replied did so due
to a desire to improve Book
Store operations through con»
striictive criti cisms and suggestions. Attention should therefore be given to the ways in
which those policies seen as inadequate or inefficient might be
adjusted to improved student and
faculty satisfacti on .
61 per cent of those students
responding had difficulty in getting a required text which had
been under -ordered. It should be
noted that this number represents
5.1 per cent of the entire student
body. 36 per cent of those fac ulty
responding also had trouble gett ing enough texts for their students.
This problem was discussed
with Mr . Trathan who felt that
this was due mainly to late ordering date s and low estimates
of course enrollments by pro fessors. The syste m in use now
calls for faculty to submit "Ques tionaires " of his course enrollments . As it stands now , pr eschedulin g cannot be used as a

guideline since orders cannot
be filled at this late date. By
scheduling
moving advanced
ahead two weeks , it could be
used as an indicator. Resale of
used books would still , however ,
cause some discrepancy between
the number enrolled and the number of books needed. It should
be noted that for some semesters
in the past thi s has caused overbuying, including an instance in
which although over 400 students
were enrolled in a particular
course , under 50 texts were purchased through the C ollege Store .
A partial solution may be the
practice of "swapping" book lists
among colleges in the particular
geographic area , in order that
shorta ges and surp luses in any
one indi vidual college might be
alleviated through tradin g rathe r
than reordering from the publisher.
On the question of packa ging
of books requirin g purchase of
all of the texts regardless of
whether or not the student ai.
ready owned one or more books ,
2u per cent of the students respondin g had had some trouble ,
while 7 per cent complained that
these bundles were not br oken
for individual book sales until
after the first assignment was
due.
As to chang es in Book Store
operat ions:
(1) 52 per cent of the faculty
and 23 per cent of the students
(total equals 29 per cent) wante d

Lette r

The following is a letter I
wr ote in reply to a student whp
wrote to me questioning the validity of the Introduction to Philo sophy Final I gave last semester. I make some point here
which I think will be valuable to
my students as well as to the
community at large.
Dear Miss Russell ,
Your feelings about the illicit
transactions that took place during the Philoso phy I Final , I'm
sur e, are shared by many olyour
classmates , andl 'm very glad you
made them known to me.
I w ant to let you k now that I was
not unaware of some of the thin gs
tha t were going on and that I am
taking action agains t a nu mber of
students whose illicit behavior
can , I think , be established beyond reasonable doubt.
Further , I want you to know
that given the nature of the
exam , it's questionable whether
the use of notes , switching of
papers , and the like was ver y
helpful . As you may recall I' ve
said many times that students
must de monst rate an understanding of the Issue s, not a mere
familiarit y with the m , in my
course. Consequently , it's hard to
see h ow someone cou ld sh ow an d
understanding of say, the difference between behaviorism and
the Identit y theory solely from a
few scribbled notes or whispered
remar ks.
It follows from this that If you
observe d one of y our c la ssmates
whispering to another , you had
as much cause for AMUSEMENT
as for mora l indignation. For t
what do you think was said? Pro -

_____MAROON

bably something like this:
"Pi sst . . . . What 's Behaviorism? "
"It' s the view that mind is to
body as punch is to fist.
"You're kidding/'
If you want a good laugh , let
me invite you to my office and
I'll show you some of the absurdities which result when students attempt to write ah essay
on such fragmentary inform ation .
Let me recount an Incident
which happened last summer to
support my point that cheating
on essay exams is often of little help. I had a student who received a low grade in my Philo sophy course. She was very
indignant. She complained to me ,
to Dean Hoch , and to a lot of other people. Kow could she get such
a low grade , she asked , w hen all
her answers came straight out of
her notes ? (I have reas on to believe they came straight out of her
notebook .) Borrow your room mate ' s lecture notes some time ,
and you'll see why. They don 't
make sense until he explains and
elaborates on them. If then , a
student copies his answers out of
his notebook (or other visual
aids) , it's easy to see how they
very well might not make sense ,
how he consequently could get
a low grade
and think the
course was Impossible .
Those who didn 't know should
hav e le arned by now that cheating
is of little help on a good essay
exam. And those who took the
exam and retained their Integri ty
should know that little was gain ed by those who lost It .

though it took Diana Rigg to

TIME 'S man and woman of the

The '60' s are over , the swinging, sexy, smoggy, smutty, spacy, slumm y , slashin g, sorr y ,
sicky, schmucking sixties. Already we look back , remove d , as
it looking- at a childhood toy:
we k now we can 't go back , but
by God despite everything it was
kinda fun . Seeing ourselves only
dimly , we turn to our folk her oes, of which the decade saw
quite a few. We saw them mar tyrized alive: the Smothers Brothers. We saw them martyrized
by death: the Kennedys , King ,
Evers , Bruce. We saw some be-

And there are wasted tracks a
queer little organ thing called
"Fag " which is so familiar I
can't place it (Small Faces , maybe?)* and the non- grou p-writte n
"What Would You Do (If I Did
That To You)." But the album
survives , mostly because of John
Kay 's passionate vocals and the
very anarchic lyric s.
For Instance , we have "Move
Over , " one helluva good single
which Top 40 usually avoided ; it' s
relativel y mild :
"Thin gs look bad from over
here , too much confusion and no
solution , everyone here knows the
fear . . . yesterday 's law won 't
help us today , ya oughta retire ,
get outta the way!" Which is
scary enough to WHLM- type
minds: how bout "If we» can get
together , look out for stormy
weather. . . I ain 't got much
time, I can 't wait in line ."
POWER PL AY
If "M ove Over " cause s over30 ulcers , "Power Play" will
cause cardiac failure ; it' s just
plain mean:
"What gives you the r ight , hey
you , to stand there and tell me
what to do? Tell me, who gave
you the power to stop me from
living like I do? " And into "Be
careful who you 're pus hing round ,
ya just might find you 're obsolete" and much more. That
sounds pretty definite . And then
there 's politics , hoo boy is there

"Those who suffer for the
sake of honesty, all those who

resisters who will fight for sanity , when they march 'em off to

Now that' s quite a tribu te , and

Lessee, somew here al ong the
way rock became a political
force , and one to be reckone d
with. No longer was there Pat
Boone or any of those other
shams who allegedly spoke to
and of youth. Somewhere youth
(that 's us), turned off by rock ,
or rather what passed as rock ,
looked throu gh the arts for its
own voice, couldn 't find it , went
bac k to rock again and changed
it. Rock , stolen from the black
blacks , soon became the release
for the just-as -bad-off white
blacks , the middle-classe d longhaired kids who saw the Amer ican
dream as the world' s nightmare ,
middle-classe d kids who learned
the hard way that becomin g black
constituted nothing more than
dissent and looking different , perfectly legal but totally loathesome to The Powers Th at Were.
Whites were now black (i.e., beat
over the head and carted off to
jail for no real reason). So politics found its place in rock , the
time s they have a-changed , the
anger , idealism , frustration , rebellion , love, drugs , the fres hness of the decade and a new life
style all got rolled into a handful of rock albu ms: Dylan 's stuff
for himself; Dylan 's stuff for the
Big Pink album; "Sgt. Pepper ,"
the Doors ' first two , "The Notorious Byrd Brothers ," "Beggars Banquet ," Airplane sounds ,
"Alice 's Restaurant ," such albums were the '60s. And somewhere at the ver y bottom of
that list , but still there , must go

I never liked Steppenwolf . I

but that was it. It took one play*

with the single of "Mons ter "

Harvest of Shame
by Louis I. Nau

A decade ago CBS News pro duced a documentary film about
migrant workers which caused a
sensation at the time of its ori ginal release on television and
which remains a classic of Its
kind. Wednesd ay evening HAR VEST OF SHAME was given a
screening at the College by the
local chapter of the American Association of University Women
by the BSC Literary and Film
Society.
HARVEST OF SHAM E has the
distinction , rare amon g such
documentaries on social prob lems , of being not only Inst ructive
but moving as well. Wedne sday
night ' s audie nce was visibly affecte d by the scenes of children

BSC Falls Short ,
Rams Win 97 - 86

On the basketball courts this

week end, the Huskies didn 't fare

as well as the grapplers. The
Golden Rams of West Chester
State College , on their own c ourt,
nudged the BSC team 97-86.
Jim P latukis and Bob Snyder
dum ped in 24 points and 23 points
respectiv ely, while Yanchek add ed 14 , and Johnson dro pped in
another 11. High scorers for the
Rams were Hauer with 22 and
Founds who had 20 points.
It looked as though the Huskies
had a chance in the first half
when they chopped away WCSC 's
eight point lead and went ahead
by
one point. But the Rams
bounded back -and picked up a six
point lead over the visitors .
Closing in on the half time , the
Huskies caught up again , but
after a few fast breaks WCSC
pulled out ahead again and the
half time closed with the score
44-33.

The second half of the game
was much the same as the first .
Overall , the Huskie s put up a
good resistance to the much tall er Rams . With the tallest on the
BSC team 6»5**t compared to
6'9» and 6'6" on the WCSC team ,
Coach Voss's boys out rebound ed the Rams 42-40. -More prominent rebounder s for the night
were Yanchek with 12 and Schuster with 9.
From the field , BSC shot 42
per cent ot the time while the
Rams put through 54 per cent of
the shots. And from the goal
line , the Huskies had 30 for 34.
Bob Snyder and Mark Yanchek
both came through on assists
with 5 and 4 recorded respectively.
The loss has given the Huskie s
a nine to five record with four
wins and three losses in the
conference.

This is the time of the year
when the big news in sports are
the baseball holdouts. This is a
rare breed of basebal lanimal who
thinks he is worth more money
than his team has offer ed to pay
him. Most of the time he does
deserv e a healthy rais e.
Now add to the displeasu re of
the front office executives the suit
against professiona l basebal l by
Curt Flood . Flood was tra ded bj
the St . Louis Cardina ls to the
Philade lphia Phillies after the
1969 World Ser ies. With this
trade Flood must leave his life ,
friends , and busin ess interests in
the St. Louis area.
W ith the help of Arthur Goldber g, for mer Supreme Cour t Jus tice and Ambassad or to the U .N.,
Flood is hoping to prove that the
reserve clause commits the player to the team as a piece of property . It is also his conten tion
that he should be able to deal
with any team he wishes, thou gh
they may be contrar y to the desires of his bosses.

Mr. Medlock th inks th e reserve
clause is too strin ge nt in that it
take s away the r ights of the play er w hen he signs his cont ract.
"The reserve clause is alri ght
within limits , " Med l ock stated .

'It goes beyond the rights of the
player . He should have the right
to renegotiate with any team after
an arbitrary period of say five
years ." Mr . Medlock is no
doubt sympathetic to Flood' s suit .
"The advant age is all to the
owner s because it creates more
equal competition ," he continued .
"Otherwise a team could buy all
of the best players in the U.S."
If the reserve clause Is done away
with a player could go the the
highest bidder . "If a team gets
all the best player s and becomes
No. 1,'* Medlock stated ," the atten dance at games will dro p off
and they will eventually lose
money. " And w ho wants to see
a team that does nothin g but win.
"Baseball should be able to recognize a player ' s personal
rights , but retain an amount of
jurisdiction on the player , so
baseball is not ruined , " Medlock
concluded.
Coach Boler 's thoughts on the
reserve clause are somewhat different . "I t is necessar y f rom t he
owner' s point of view as a liability. " "If he (Flood) doesn 't think
he ought to be traded , " he continued , "he shouldn 't play ball . "
It' s one of the hazards of the occupation .
If the clause were dro pped Mr,
Boler though there would be
more benefits for the player , but
In his words , "Players would
be sold every year . Th e clause
keeps ball players together and
works towar d unification of the
team. "
My own thou ghts differ somewhat from Mr. Medlock' s and

a detriment to professio nal base *

life in one city to move to a new

(continued from pago 1)

"Ya fill this nouse with things*
of gold while handing crumbs to
the old and poor , and then ya
preach about being pure , and
wonder why we 're laughing; yer
old way of trying to find us but
we can 't follow what's behind
us , too much blind faith ...blind
us, through sometimes it's a
blessing." To the chorus:
"But I remember when I still
embraced you , a little prayer
would ease my mind , till I saw
that you hide from the misery
outside, so I left you behind ,"
Other religions?" But a.11 the
other teachings were about the
same, one grain of truth mixed
with confusion. ' But there 's hope!
"... may as well get ya back
on yer feet again ." (soul, no
pun , chorus answering: "Get
back, back up on yer feet")
"Don'tcha know we need somebody to (do some work out in
the street), you just might touch
somebody (start to think about
today), throw your old stuff
away and (break away from yesterday), tell me, can we reach
you (still I don 't know, we
got to get from here to there
eventually)."
Now to more like the beginning, heavy sarcasm: "While mothers die up against the wall ya
take the time to tell us all
how we 're not supposed to ball,

nothing to do with heaven or
hell but I do admit I'm not gonna
tell what I' m talking about , ya
know damn well, ya really ought
to try it. " Eerie things start
happening, the organ jumps and
cascades in sounds, fiery hellish
sounds, whips slash and souls
scream and we end up with the
gospel of "Jesus will save, he 's
coming back and you better believe ." I ain 't telling what it
means either , don 't need to; all I
know is that this one will be
banned from the whole intercom*sing universe .
MONSTER

Heady stuff , right? Dangerous
visions indeed . But how about
Steppenwolf's masterpiece , the
"Monster " suite in three parts,
the opening cut which against all
odds is making it as a single .
It starts innocently enough, a
little history lesson, in case we
forgot :
"Once the religious, the hunted and weary, chasing the promise of freedom and hope , came
to this country to build a new
vision, faj from the reaches of
kingdom and pope; like good
Christians some would burn the
witches, later some bought slaves
to gather riches ... " but still they
came "to court the wild , " the
Redman got his, evil things went
on, but things went okay for
awhile, but the spirit's "protectors and friends have been
sleeping, now it's a monster and
will not obey. " Here the bass

people go to a game hoping for
their team to win, but knowing
they could lose . Few people
would pay today 's inflation-raised
prices to see a team that wins 90
per cent of the time. It is the
suspense of the delicate balance
between victory and defeat which
makes the game of baseball the
great sport it is today and hopefully will continue to be.
